Ayomanor, Dovichak racing for gold at Legion Youth Nationals
MEDICINE HAT, AB — The local Bulldogs Track and Field Club is sending two of Alberta’s best to Nova Scotia next week to compete for national hardware.
16-year-old Elic Ayomanor and 14-year-old Jayel Dovichak will join head coach Sean Freeman at Legion Youth Nationals at Cape Breton University from August 7-13.
It’s the second time both athletes will represent Team Alberta at the Canada-wide event. However, both are heading to the Maritimes with a fresh perspective.
Ayomanor will take the start-line in the 200-meter and 400-meter races. Last summer, the local product was limited to sprinting in the 100-meter dash due to a mild tear in his back.
